I found an old quote from a writing journal where I’d first been sketching out the ideas that later became my book:
β€œFor life lives by continual giving (love). Without love, there is only death.”

What if over 10,000 years ago, when Ireland was an ancient forest, it was inhabited by faeries and dryads? 🧚🌳 They live in harmony - until one faerie’s discontentment threatens to destroy the forest.
The Rooted and the Winged, releases next Tuesday!! 😁 Follow for updates. #fantasybooks

Writers: How do you keep the story ideas flowing when you’re too busy to write? For me, I’ve been making character playlists that I’ll reflect to while driving, listening to inspiring books/history videos at work, and recording all my random ideas on a notes app on my phone.

Writers - if you could name one book that influenced you the most as a writer, what would it be? Mine is At the Back of The North Wind by George MacDonald. 🌬️🀍

To artists of all kinds: A reminder to please protect all creative spaces against AI. Don't take jobs away from writers, or visual artists, or voice narrators, or a musician, or any other creative. Hire and support human art. We have to fight this together.

I just discovered I can plant one tree for every person who backs my Kickstarter through One Tree Planted!! 🌱 My book The Rooted and the Winged is a cry to save our trees, so I am SO happy about this. Kickstarter releases April 22nd - so soon. #fantasybooks

Highly recommend! I think about the characters on terms of their cognitive functions and how that determines their actions and thinking patterns.

#writers How many of you use the 16 Personalities / Meyers Briggs to write your characters? πŸ‘€ It’s my secret hack personally! (I’m pitting a INFJ vs a ENTJ as deadly rivals in my next story which is going to be SO much fun)

Just because some people have a rotten idea of goodness doesn't mean that the idea of goodness is rotten.

A question for my fellow author/illustrators: When you think of your story, do you think more in pictures or words?
I’ve noticed that when I’m trying to write my story in my head, my brain defaults to just pictures and I have to force it to give me words!
